โฆ Synopsis
Catalytic chain transfer is found to be useful for making telechelic oligomers with a variety of initiating groups in a one-step reaction procedure. Two olefinic components are required, the first being a normal free-radical-polymerizable monomer such as a methacrylate. The second is a vicinal or other olefin generally considered to be unreactive in free radical polymerizations. Under conditions of radical polymerization in the presence of a CCT catalyst, the copolymer that results incorporates predominantly one molecule of the second component at the initiation of each polymer chain. The terminal end group is a geminal double bond. This geminal-disubstituted end group is radically polymerizable and would allow the preparation of functionalized arms on graft polymers.

Polymers prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) contain end groups defined by the initiator used. Alkyl halides, used as initiators, lead to polymers with an alkyl group at one end and a halide as the other chain end. Using functionalized initiators such as 2-hydroxyethyl 2-bromopro
